There's so much hate for "NIMBYism" on here, why? Looking at the wikipedia article, it just means putting things undesirable to have in a residential area farther away from residential areas. Do you really want to live next to an airport? Is it so bad for people to want their neighborhood to be nice?
- jvm 9y ago"it just means putting thinga undesirable to have in a residential area farther away from residential areas" Infamously, at least in the Bay Area, the "undesirable things" in question are typically new neighbors.
- jimmaswell 9y agoI can easily see increased population density being a problem for an already crowded city, among the other arguments the residents have against building up more.
- Redoubts 9y ago> an already crowded city Ha!
- jimmaswell 9y agoIf a city isn't already crowded then it makes sense for the residents to strongly oppose letting it become so.
